About Susan Medyn
Susan Medyn is a Rhode Island-based ecological artist currently working on art in collaboration with honeybees. Her process involves placing textile-based artworks—woven with linen, embroidery, natural materials like seed heads, and beeswax—directly into her hives. Over time, the bees respond by chewing through, building onto, and reshaping the works, becoming co-authors of each piece.
An established watercolorist, Medyn is also a beekeeper trained through Cornell Extension, and a rural artist interested in promoting awareness of the importance of sustaining the environment and insects.
